It's just GM but don't take offense if they don't say it.

Many times I alt>qq so fast and forget to say gg and afterwards I'm like "ah shit they're gonna think I'm being bm or I'm mad etc"

Thats bad manner from you. Why whisper? Just get another game and play.


Why's that bad manner? he's not mocking him, he's just trying to say 'gg' to all of his opponents. if someone leaves without a gg and then says "fuck of" when you say it to him, they need to stop being so fucking serious

Depends. Vrs someone I don't trust I finish whatever I'm doing then type gg back. If its a friendly game or something I just type gg, and if the guy pissed me off or something I don't say shit.

And I hate losing to 9/10 proxy gate or BBS so I don't gg then.
What do you mean the LOSER has to say GG?

Manners aren't required. It's just accepted for people to say gg at the end of the game to concede defeat, but it's not like it's enforced in casual play. You aren't supposed to say anything, you can do whatever you want when you play; it's just that some things (saying gg and leaving) are nicer than others (cursing your opponent, hiding buildings all over the map and leaving the game on).

I only GG back to get them out of the game, otherwise they might wait like 15 seconds to hear the gg back, so awkward -_-;

opponent:gg
opponent has left the game

people leave even before their opponent has a chance to say GG back so...what's the point right? so just leave right after gg-ing

That IS BM. It's terrible manners. Someone leaves w/o gg is obviously frustrated with the loss. They don't care to acknowledge the game. A return gg IS mocking them in that sort because you are forcing them to acknowledge something they don't care to.

Use your head, it's not being "serious," it's being annoyed with a game and annoyed with someone rubbing it in their face.

When I play a good game where I feel as though I played my best and they played well, i say gg then say well played or something.

But when I lose when they cheese or I make a retarded mistake, i say gg and leave before they say gg. =(

I always gg after I win. I gg 99% of the time when I lose. Cheese is just a part of the game, so I don't get mad about anything like that, but if my opponent is bm OR if I'm disgusted with myself for playing so terribly I'll just leave on very rare occassions.

i think the whole "i don't gg if i think i made a mistake or if i think i should've played better" is complete BS. every game is won or lost by some sort of mistake by you, it shouldn't matter whether you think you could play better or you fucked up. there's rarely a game where you believe you played your best and made no mistakes and still lose.

a player's true nature is revealed when they get cheesed and die, do you say gg? i think you should no matter what. its the ultimate sign of GM if you gg after a loss to proxy gates or bbs or 4pool.

sounds like srs business 2 me!
if you don't take the game so seriously you won't get all upset over losing a game, and you say "gg" because it's the polite thing to do when the game is over

This. I always gg out of habit, then leave and try to find another game. I also usually reply with 'gg' when I win. I've never said 'wp' before, but I think I might if the opportunity comes along.

There's a difference between taking a game seriously and being annoyed. YOU are the one taunting the other person by saying GG if you do it. The winner should never say gg initially, only responding to the loser. If the winner ever says gg and the loser doesn't, it's BM.

actaully most of the players already left when you read the GG, so there's no point in GGing back, nobody cares, nobody sees it


This. Typing gg back to guy who insta leaves is pointless as he doesn't see that. If the game is ladder game who cares, there is nobody see it.

So you think manners are just a way to show off? o.o


Well if opponent types "gg" and insta leaves he wont see anything you type, so many just wont type back at all.

So many people wont type anything inside game, I consider that game good manner but if opponent starts asking "from?" quality goes down


Not Saying GG, long discussion about it


is asking "from?" bm? when i say usa, and they say "gl", is that implying something? lol

i use bg or just leave more often than not. I pretty much only say gg if it was said to me from the loser, I know the other player, I want to rematch, or game was good.

I usually say ggl at start of the game so I don't even need to say it later imo.Who cares

why would you be annoyed if you are just having fun?
saying gg to a player is just acknowledging that it was a good game, if the other player is going to take it like some form of harassment then that is his prerogative
